[October 30, 2012]INA -- The Lincoln College men's and
women's cross country team competed at the Region 24 meet this past
weekend. The men's team claimed the Region 24 championship and had three
runners in the top five.

The Lynx were once again led by Albert Murrey. He ran the soggy
five-mile course in a time of 26:39 and was also the Region 24
champion. Jordan Staley was third, Luke Padeskey was fifth, Alek
Stojanovic 11th and Taylor Singleton 13th.

The women's team placed
fourth and had two runners in the top 10. Hannah Singleton was
second in the region with a time of 20:01, and Victoria Heller was
ninth.

Coach Herron said: "This was a great day for the men's team. We
were a little banged up, so they showed me a lot of heart today.
They ran a great team race and did what they had their minds set on
all year: win the Region 24 title.

"I know that our women's team did not do as well as we hoped,
but I thought Hannah ran an excellent race, and Victoria Heller
placing in the top 10 in just her first year of running cross
country was pretty impressive.

"We have two weeks to do some fine-tuning and heal up for
nationals."
